this is dumb, what an imbecile. Go ahead sue and lose, hate how people are so sue happy these days. Don't waste money and throw in another one of these ridiculous lawsuits in the many that already exist.

What's the saying... "As soon as you think you made it idiot proof, along comes a bigger idiot."
Or something like that.

For every fool proof system there is a new and improved fool to defeat it.

I completely agree that this lawsuit is bullshit but you guys are more retarded than carbon dioxide girl if you think that's how the justice system works.
Toyota is not going to pay anything if they don't have any liability. The news loves to report on BS lawsuits because know nothings like you guys eat it up. They forget to mention the part about how these lawsuits are either thrown out, diminished in value, the plaintiff flat out loses, a decision is reversed on appeal, the attorneys get sanctioned, counter suits occur, etc.
Everyone is so jazzed about talking about how the justice system is horribly askew when it's so evident to anyone that actually is involved in litigation that 99% of the critics have zero understanding of what actually occurs.
There are certainly no shortage of lawyers that will swing for the fences on BS cases but filing a lawsuit and making a claim has nothing to do with moneys actually being paid out.

Settling or losing this case would open the floodgates for idiots who blame everything and anything on their cars. They DO NOT want this person to win. Hell, all car companies that have keyless go will help Toyota fight it, because if toyota wins, everyone is in the clear...if toyota loses, everyone gets sued the next day.
As for leaving the engine on...on my dad's 2010 RL, if you get out of the car with the engine running, and you close the door, the car will emit a LOUD series of beeps. There is no way, unless you are deaf (in which case you can't drive) that you don't know your engine is running. I am certain Lexus has the same feature.

It is at this point that we must note that in our experience, Toyota's keyless ignition mechanism operates in essentially the same manner as every other system used by other automakers, and that cars equipped with the technology are programmed to deliver both audible and visual warnings if the driver attempts to leave the car without first shutting off the engine.

Talking out your ass about something you are ignorant of is not appreciated. Sorry if I call it like I see it but you are forming incredibly biased opinions about a subject you clearly don't fully understand.
